Video: Dyme Def, “Tell Em Where You’re From”

Long time Seattle underground favorites Dyme Def weave a handful of classics from the NWA family—"Straight Outta Compton," "Dopeman" and "Funky Enough"—into a monstrous Sea-town anthem. Hometown pride raps almost always deliver but there's a lot more to love here like the your rhymebook should be a loofah jab, the way the beat segues into a sloppy go-go thing when the chorus hit and the low fidelity tracking that makes it look like a VHS dub from off of The Box.
